During a fight in a red dragon vault, my alignment dropped from N+ to N-. Normally I would have blamed that on pick pocketing, but I can't pick pocket dragons and did not try to. The only reason I can think of is my emelard dagger combined with unholy aura corruption, which caused a lot of dragons to die of poison... A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

On a side note - that char just finished the game. Used wands of destruction, but killed all the balors and Fisty before I realised I had a SECOND wand in my back pack :P (mana battery corruption and run out of scrolls and potions). Corruption up to 'P', but still got the unicorn, and 3 orb guardian corpses. I'll post a brag-post about it when I'm finished with him. A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

Here's my guess, after poisoning the dragon, they become afraid of you and not hostile, then you get an alignment drop for killing a nonhostile creature. But, sounds weird, I don't think they turn nonhostile when they become scared of you. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

They all were hostile (they are until you make 'p'eace with them) and the drop of alignment was pretty severe for a 35+ level character IMHO. A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

well, I once decided to use wands of poison on hotzy and his crew, and this does a couple of stupid things: 1: does not give you credit for kill in any positive way(exp or quest completion) 2: gives you negative alignment change probably a bug that occurs sometimes, cuz this happened like 2x to me, and i've done this several times...maybe poison in general is just bugged?

i played assassins a lot. and they love throwing poisoned daggers. lots of times Hotz and Kranach dropped dead because of poison never had any problems with quests or exp. and Cura is using serpent's bite alot despite some number of victim's dying from poison i haven't noticed any negative effects. and she is not high level character.

I believe I specifically I noted, "to use wands of poison" I guess I'll have to test this....for the sake of completion. Btw, I think it's about time that there is a section of ADOM forum(like spoiler forum section or roguelikes) that deals with bugs, code, and the technicalities of the game that you normally dont deal with. Such as dragon gold scumming, wish engine, gremlin bomb, bugs, formulas, etc. Dunno, it's just a suggestion...I mihgt send an email to Jan about it. "You try to give Fang, the large dog the bone.
